Its site EUI of 9.5 kBtu/ft² is about half of the average of 19.8 kBtu/ft² — it uses less energy per square foot than the typical building in that group. Its emissions intensity of 0.6 kgCO₂e/ft² is about half of the group average of 1.3 kgCO₂e/ft².
At 116,702 sq ft, it is about half of the average floor area of 238,298 sq ft for those buildings. It was built in 1989, 5 years earlier than the group's average year built (1994). Across all 24 jurisdictions BuildingCensus covers, the 4,082 distribution center buildings average an ENERGY STAR score of 65 and a site EUI of 24.2 kBtu/ft².
How has Wilmington Distribution Center's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 7 California disclosures for Wilmington Distribution Center, covering report years 2018–2024. Its ENERGY STAR score went from 92 in 2018 to 67 in 2024 (-25 points); its best year on file was 2020, at 94. Site EUI moved from 13.7 kBtu/ft² (2018) to 9.5 kBtu/ft² (2024), a 31% decrease. Reported emissions went from 111 tCO₂e to 74 tCO₂e over the same span (down 34%).
What does an ENERGY STAR score of 67 mean?
ENERGY STAR scores run from 1 to 100 and are computed by the EPA's Portfolio Manager as a percentile against similar buildings nationwide, adjusted for climate, size and use: a score of 67 means the building performs better than about 67% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 67 falls in band C — below median (55–69). It sits 8 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. In California, 65% of scored buildings are at 75 or above.
Site energy-use intensity (EUI) is the energy a building uses on site in a year divided by its floor area, in thousand Btu per square foot — lower is more efficient. Wilmington Distribution Center's 9.5 kBtu/ft² across 116,702 sq ft works out to about 1.1 billion Btu (325 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. The disclosure also reports 326,355 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Wilmington Distribution Center to report its energy use?
